Quality Standards Programs: NATIONAL METRICS COMPARISON
Renown Institute for Cancer is excited to participate in the Commission on Cancer’ s( CoC) program to evaluate key outcomes measures in cancer care. As we move towards quality measures as a technique to promote cancer care, participation in a national program allows us to compare ourselves to national benchmarks and compare ourselves to other similar accredited CoC programs.
The CoC’ s Cancer Program Practice Profile Reports( CP3R) evaluates 23 quality measures covering 10 primary cancer sites. The following table demonstrates Renown’ s performance on breast and colon measures for the years 2011 to 2014. The 2016 Cancer Committee evaluated these measures which demonstrated excellent compliance with the quality standards set by the commission.
CP3R REPORT
Over the past several years, the CoC received many requests for“ real time” data that the CP3R could provide in order to closely monitor each measure. In order to satisfy these requests, the CoC developed the Rapid Quality Reporting System( RQRS). By evaluating and assessing current data, Renown Cancer Committee and institute leadership have developed more realistic goals and objectives to make a greater impact on cancer care in northern Nevada. This is one of the ways that Renown Institute for Cancer remains committed to providing outstanding, state-of-the-art cancer care.
